£70 a day's what the panda will pay!

Karmacat

Hi Panda! Thats great news in that there post, um, apart from Greg being stuck underneath the table! Hope you managed to get him out....

I've realised that your squares in your grid are also the £70 a day thing, not the bog standard £50 a day - and that you've got the little numbers in the squares. My word.... I've got a £50 grid up to £6500 now, tho no numbers in it, and £1300 paid off. I've coloured it in with coloured pencils (in a few colours! ) and written in the total that I've reached - I might re-do it later, but that'll be it for now. Its made me start listing books on Amazon too, to help reach my target, but otherwise I'm having a day off.

wahooooooooo for you paying off the Egg Card:beer:

You are doing great getting your debt back to the £80,000. I know it will be a lot less than that v soon.

hugs to all the Pandas:D

Congratulations on getting rid of the egg card, its such a good feeling to get rid of a debt. cant wait to see you under 80k which at this rate will be very soon. did you get anything different for gregs skin at the doctors? hopefully you will find something that works for him.

thanks for the encouragment MM and Hypno, i just love updating my sig and checking how others are getting on in theirs.

Yes, Greg has been given some mild HC cream just for the worst bits and they're going to give us a different moisturiser to try. I did manage to recover him from the grasp of the table KC, and no lasting harm done (to the table:D )

Work has been an absolute nightmare today as we've had a whole load of enormous procedure changes implemented overnight and since I trained everyone on the changes (one of the tasks given to me when I wasn't on maternity leave) then obviously nobody has had a clue what they were meant to be doing. Nothing dangerous happening, it's just that we all look like a bumbling bunch of drivelling incompetents. Er... nothing new there then...:o

KC, I'm the same as you with the motivation. I'm trying my best to pay bits off the debt just to get another square coloured in. My chart is alternating blue and green squares (the two pencils Adam happened to have left lying in the study) but I'm going to find a red, and everytime I get to a square that takes me through a 10k I'll colour it red. How sad that I find it so exciting. Note to self: must get a life.

Hi PP,

Well done in your debt-busting!
Just reading through..
Have often do you bathe Greg? I might cause a little controversy from those that love clean babes but I have only given A 4 baths in his life and his skin is now fantastic (apart from the odd milkspot and I can live with that!)

Edit: for those newbies - A has just turned 5 months old.

Q. how are you finding the cheapest couriers pls?

Hi PP!! That is great to read that another egg card bites the dust :T Your £70 a day total is looking very healthy! I am a little behind with my daily target but only by a little bit - I should be able to catch up with a little effort (catch up with myself, not with you!!).

Hope you have a good day, and it is amazing to think that Greg is crawling - time just flies by!

PP Well done on clearing the egg card. What is next on your hit list?? I notice you have several cards with 0% deals ending in december.

Oops.... hope it clears up, what a pain....

I love the idea of the special colour every so often. The debt I'm actually trying to pay off is tiny, so I could do every £500 in red (I'd choose red too), with the in between ones alternately yellow and orange, sky colours. I think I'm going to have to print out the grid again, I knew the colours weren't *quite* right. Thanks, Panda!

We didn't bath him much at all for the first few weeks, but now we bath (or I should say 'kitchen sink') him every evening. It's more of a dip than anything else and we've got that emollient stuff in the water. I totally agree with you that babies don't need as much washing as they seem to get, and I wouldn't wash Greg as much but he seems to get filthy, especially since he's been crawling and eating solids. He really enjoys it as well. The sad thing is that his skin is absolutely gorgeous on the bits that aren't red and blotchy. Must post photos - he's changed loads lately.

I had a mare personally, but that was because I got it collected from work and DHL couldn't find the address, so they failed the collection 2 days in a row.:mad: Parceltree were slightly cheaper for regular use and you can send enormous parcels for £6.50 (100x60x60cm up to 25kg I think) but Parcel2Go were good for a single delivery of slightly smaller items as it was about £7 but there's £5 Quidco on your first order. I'd recommend either - much cheaper than the PO for big stuff.

Hi LilacPixie! On the hit list at the moment is DH's HSBC card - we've already made a bit of a dent in it this month and it's got £3708.87 owing. We're also doing our 'payment a day' to the Virgin card which only has £215 on it so should be gone before the end of Sept. Mint is then next on the hit-list. We'll probably have to transfer some of Mint £3.8k) & Natwest (£2.6k) but hoping to clear as much of them as possible.

Off out this morning with a friend and kids to the local Maize-Maze. Never been to one before so sounds interesting! We're taking a picnic rather than going for lunch afterwards so I'd better get my skates on and see what food we've got festering in the back of the fridge.

Working at 2 - hopefully I'll get a bit of catch-up time then. Have a lovely day y'all!
